Melanie Snow

Melanie is just an outstanding real estate agent. When I retired, we decided to sell our old house and find one closer to our needs. My sister, who is an agent in another state, spoke with many high-rated local agents for us. She said go with Melanie…top choice, absolutely no question. We did. Melanie is an encyclopedia of knowledge of this industry, knows the market, the rules and regs, and the people, and she is a joy to work with. She was able to sell our old house lightning fast, with minimal up-front costs to us, and for a whopping 20% more than the offers we’d gotten over the previous 6 months. So, we decided to ask her for help on a new house. We didn’t know much about real estate, we were picky about what we wanted, and we have limited funds. It took 6 long months of search, but Melanie stayed patiently by our side all the way. In the end, we found EXACTLY the place we were looking for not far from our old place. It was in stellar condition, just the right size, and our back yard is now Mt Diablo State Park. Melanie shepherded the deal thru, negotiated a 75K cut below the asking price and got it closed quickly. We have been in the new house for six months now and we absolutely could not be happier. I guess we’d say…if you’re looking to buy or sell a house in Costa County California, then follow my sister’s expert advice and go talk to Melanie…top choice, absolutely no question.

We knew we needed a seasoned expert in the local real estate market when preparing to bring our childhood home to market. And Melanie was just the expert that we needed! She comes with lots of local market knowledge, a network of resources and contractors, and a down-to-earth attitude. Never having sold a home before, she cheerfully helped us navigate the process from start to close of escrow. Thank you Melanie!

Melanie helped us to buy our home in Orinda last month. She is truly a local expert on the neighborhoods of the Lamorinda area. We appreciated the time that she spent with us getting to know our family, and she was great with our daughters who weren’t always enthusiastic to join us on house tours. Melanie has a very strong network of realtors in this area, which makes her well positioned to advise buyers on a potential sale price. We trusted her instincts, and had our offer accepted on our dream home – the first offer we made in Orinda!

Even after our house closed, she has been extremely helpful and responsive to all of our questions. I can’t recommend her enough! Kriten Sgarlata, Orinda

I have nothing but great things to say about Melanie Snow. I knew when I needed to sell our family home, I wanted to work with Melanie. She has proven herself time and time again with my friends’ home sales over the years. I listed with Melanie, and our home sold at a great price in 10 days in a difficult market this year. What a great success! She had a vision and a clear timetable; she knew what to do; and she knew how to explain what improvements needed to be done in order to get the best price. Each improvement she recommended clearly resonated well with the buyers. She is surrounded by excellent people who work around the clock for her to get things done. She was there every step of the way to supervise their work. Her professionalism shines through with her decision making, consulting and negotiating skills. I highly recommend you choose Melanie Snow. She is amazing!

Superb experience buying our place. Melanie guided us through the entire process with sturdy advice and with a lot of TLC. She is very responsive, extremely knowledgeable, very well connected with RE infrastructure (mortgage/escrow/insurance) needed to execute the deal. Matching the buyer with the right property, understanding buyer’s needs, and strong negotiation skills – Melanie demonstrated she is an expert at these attributes. We strongly recommend her to anyone interested in buying in Lamorinda area.

Melanie makes dreams come true, even under the most difficult circumstances. We partnered with Melanie to find our first home, and we could not be more thrilled with the house and the process. We were understandably nervous, trying to buy a home from across the country during such a competitive market. My husband is new to the Lamorinda area and had a lot of questions along the way. His process was exhaustively thorough, and Melanie gracefully guided us with clear direction and honest feedback.

Melanie made the most of his two trips to view open houses and on the second weekend, we landed upon an off-market opportunity. We had a few little cosmetic changes to make, and she hooked us up with her amazing team to quickly get the work done.

She is exactly the professional you’d hope to have when making such a big decision – extremely well connected, candid, and on top of all the details. Highly recommend!!
